The NER Vermont Reading Series and the Vermont Book Shop are pleased to present Michael Coffey, Penelope Cray, and Rebecca Makkai, who will read from their poetry and fiction at Carol's Hungry Mind Café. From as far as Chicago and as near as Shelburne, these three writers represent an extraordinary range of literary imagination. Books will be available for signing.

We study literature, the poet Wallace Stevens said, because it "helps us to live our lives."

The faculty in English and American Literatures offer courses in lecture and seminar format on the British and American literary traditions from their origins to the present, as well on literature written in English in the Caribbean, Africa, and South Asia. We have particular historical strengths in the teaching of American Literature and in the works of William Shakespeare, and we offer creative writing workshops in fiction, non-fiction, and poetry.
